In my source, (originally on Linux) I have a link in my source directory to a config file which I normally import into python. This allows me to have something.py pointing to config.txt . config.txt can be opened by an editor and something.py can be imported into a python shell. This worked in Linux alone and on windows as both platforms support links. But if I use git to bring my code from linux to windows I end up with a file that contains the path to the target file. Then I went to try to see what git bash would do with a link. I created a file and a link to it using ln -s This created a copy of the file I wanted to link to. What do you think? Should this work better? Bryant Bernstein + 61 419 323 378
